This one-day offering will give participants an opportunity to review and evaluate
more than a dozen written impaired driving crash reconstruction reports, with a focus on
what an attack point might be. Discussion of each case will include technical background
and how the State might defeat many of the attacks by additional investigation and trial
preparation. Participants will include law enforcement officers and prosecutors.
General agenda:
− Why are MV crash cases so difficult to prosecute?
− Examining the value of eyewitnesses, and how to improve witness statements
− Case studies: evaluation of potential defense attacks and discussion
− Cross-examining the defense collision reconstruction expert
− Investigation reminders
